Meat and Poultry

A true printing partner understands the importance of great print quality and achieving your operational goals in a highly regulated environment. With over four decades of experience in the meat and poultry industry, Videojet offers the perfect combination of technology, expertise and service options to be your coding partner of choice.

Changing consumer preferences and the goal of extended shelve life drive constant change in films for the meat and poultry industry. Moreover, coding more information is not only required by law but is becoming an expectation of consumers. TTO and LPA are two technologies that can help you comply with these requirements while maintaining superior printing that conveys your high-quality product.

Continuous Ink Jet(CIJ)

Condensation-resistant inks help ensure code stays in place when printed on any part of the package surface.

Changing codes is easy through a user-friendly message creation interface or connection to networking software

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)

Print on either stationary or moving products, and it is possible to switch between the two types of printing

Can be printed on almost any color, including dark films

Label Printer Applicator (LPA)

Variable information such as weight, ‘sell-by’ date and price can be printed for each package prior to automatic placements

Can print customized labels and eliminate the need for manual handling

Keeping pace with form fill seal machinery

Chub packs provide ground meat with an easy-to-transport, solid shape and are used in both retail and commercial channels. Due to the lack of air inside a chub package, they often have a longer shelf life for ground meats or poultry versus trays and can be easily frozen.

Continuous Ink Jet(CIJ)

316 stainless steel construction can help prevent rust and corrosion in washdown environments

Managing multiple pre-printed films for multiple products running on the same line can be cumbersome and costly. TTO gives you the capability to print product information during packaging and variabilize mark content to limit pre-printed film variations. TTO can print high resolution logos, bar codes and product information, giving you the ultimate in flexibility and efficiency.

The benefits of integration

Coders are integrated either directly with a cartoner or on the outfeed conveyor after the carton has been filled and sealed. Although integration directly with the cartoner can require more planning, it offers you considerable benefits. These include more consistent coding due to more precise material handling and the use of existing guards on the machine.

Laser Marking Systems

Extremely high resolution codes for printing country of origin or other product information on cartons

Comprehensive portfolio of laser accessories including lenses and beam turning units to simplify line integration and maximize laser performance

Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ)

Specialty inks can create contrast and are ideal for use on virtually all carton materials, including aqueous overcoats and other varnishes

Colored inks can be used to create contrast on different colored cartons

Thermal Ink Jet (TIJ)

Compact design for simple line integration and flexible communication choices for ease of use

Code on almost anything

The selection of a coding technology and fluids, when required, should be based on the unique needs of your business. Substrate and environmental considerations, stringent sanitation requirements, and heat and humidity resistance can make that selection process more challenging. With over 40 years of experience and more than 600 specialized inks, our technology experts can help you find the right solution for your production.

Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ)

Codes can be printed with special inks that change color to confirm that products have passed through a critical retort process

Ink-based, non-contact printing of multiple data types (alphanumeric, logos and bar codes) in large sizes primarily used for secondary packaging such as cases.

Whether intermittent or continuous motion, Videojet has a range of printers to address the growing complexity of VFFS bags and pouches. Our technologies can handle unique packaging features like zippers and gussets.

Ink-based, non-contact printing of multiple data types (alphanumeric, logos and bar codes) in large sizes primarily used for secondary packaging such as cases.

Case printers are best integrated on your conveyor after the sealed case has been discharged. The type and amount of information you want to print on your cases determines which coding solution is ideal for you.
